For the wee pirates in your home, try That’s Not My Pirate… Like others in the “That’s Not My…” series, this book incorporates repetitive language with textures (for baby or toddler to touch) and simple descriptions. This is a great choice for babies and toddlers who have big brothers or sisters who are mad about pirates because big brother or sister can help you to share this book with the little one.
For preschool through third grade children, On a Pirate Ship is wonderful picture book.
The book features colorful illustrations of a pirate and his crew (one crewmate featured is a child) as they have a child-appropriate pirate adventure on the high seas.
Children 10 years old and up will enjoy trading in their everyday lives for a voyage with Jim and the crew of the Hispaniola. This version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, while abridged for younger readers, maintains the original storyline and is an entertaining adventure which will capture children’s imagination. Pirates, treasure maps, and Long John Silver–who ask for a more exciting adventure to share with a child in your life?
